Taylormade RSI 1 Irons

Anyone play these irons? Most of the reviews and videos I've seen have been good.

Tried the Aeroburner, the RSi1 and RSi2 irons at an early May demo day.

Aeroburner clearly SGI, got ball up high but not especially good feel.

The RSi1 and 2 felt much better. Hot List: RSi1 = GI, RSi2 = Player's. The KBS Tour V (R.Flex) ended up on my shaft short list for the two RSi options.

The demo day had no launch monitor set-up, but I suspect I know what I would find: I can get the RSi 2 off the ground... OK... but will get better distance and height with the RSi1. That's what I found last year when I tested the Ping i25 vs. G25.

(Note: KBS family has added a couple more shafts to its offerings).

i play the RSI 1's and love them.  i tried all the major brands (ping, callaway, nike, mizuno,etc).  the face slots do actually help on mishits - check some of crossfields youtube reviews that show data to support.

Thanks for the responses. I got a chance to hit the RSI'S on a launch monitor today. I also hit the Mizuno JPX 850's and they were much more forgiving for me than the rsi's. Obviously I need to keep testing to find what suits my game.

I'm playing the rsi 2's and they feel great. I have a friend who plays some mizuno blades and he likes the feel of the mizuno's better but he gets more distance with the rsi 2's.
